October 2010 ACT Reading Thread

<p>what was it?</p>

<p>do people take different tests on the same day? like depending on your form code. Because i didnt have any of these questions</p>

<p>I had a passage about the history of tattoing, and one about a woman protesting group</p>

<p>@kkbm: Winter bloomers was definitely an answer.
It might not have been the right one, but it was definitely there.</p>

<p>lol, ambriesce, you should go read your post again!</p>

<p>It wasnt an the answer-bc the answer was the correct one!
You meant to say it was an answer choice
saying “answer” would imply that it was correct. Also, the answer to that question (see how i used it there) haha, jk, was something like shrubs-it stated it in the passage that wooden shrubs were the ONLY roses before oriental ones where introducted.</p>

<p>but clementine was said to not happen until 1994.</p>

<p>@Ambriesce it was hardy shrubs</p>

<p>The question asked roughly, “If you were to pick a rose in 1600 AD in Europe, what would it most likely be?”</p>

<p>The answer was hardy shrubs because the passage stated that before a certain year, those were the only time of roses in Europe.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>But all the other choices happened after that.</p>

<p>Was one answer about a movement toward mexican culture or something like that.</p>

<p>@kbbm: I thought you meant that winter bloomers wasn’t an answer choice, because people didn’t remember anything about it.
So I assumed that’s what you meant, and I replied saying that yes, it was in fact a choice to a question.
Your condescension isn’t appreciated, but I do suppose I should have wrote “answer choice.”</p>

<p>NEGOTIATION QUESTION</p>

<p>the negotiation was IMPLICIT
when the store keeper was reluctant to sell the radio because he knew it was broken the buyer thought he needed to be bought over so he raised the price in NEGOTIATION</p>

<p>@tothetop. It was loosely chronological, because she said “In present” and then went back in time to something about roses. There were 2 sections basically, each following a chronological order, but as a whole the piece was not strictly chronological.</p>

<p>^I put negotiation because the guy immediately bid a higher price when the narrator said that “oh those arent for sale” Usually sellers say that when they dont fee like selling it or would like a higher price. Also, the abrupt nature that he said it with “immediately after the guy replied” made me pick negotiation which the narrator clearly was not trying to do but the buyer thought he was. Not sure though</p>

<p>ALSO
FOR THE CHRONOLOGICAL ONE:
I put strictly but I changed it to loosely and I am sure it has to be right answer because 2/3 of the way up the second side of the page, she said “Today…” and later on, she said in the 19th century (towards the end). So since she went out of order I put loosely chronological.</p>

<p>@Joe999788 If I’m correct about which question you are asking, the answer was about helping to expand public art in the United States.</p>

<p>@Linger You are correct about the timeline of events.</p>

<p>@WongTongTong Those are my thoughts exactly.</p>

<p>@Schkiids; Totally agree with that.</p>

<p>And yeah, it was hard shrubs because in the second to last paragraph thats what it said.</p>

<p>I am pretty sure the rose question was shrubs.</p>

<p>I put shrubs, too.</p>

<p>What about the mural one was it fascinating(a) or mesmerizing(b)
I put (a)…</p>

<p>there was something about being conservative ???</p>

<p>and also the brain comparison??? slap in the cerebrum…</p>

<p>The mural was B mesmerizing and dynamic. Choice A was fascinating and calming-- and it certainly was not calming.</p>

<p>Brain= Attic, he mentioned it immediately after.</p>

<p>The conservative question was about Dr. Stuart but I dont remember the choices</p>
